    There would be as many answers to that question as there are religious bodies claiming to follow Christ. Our soul is the most important thing in our possession ( Matt. 16:26). We might make mistakes in financial, political or even health issues. One area we cannot afford mistakes is the area of the soul. Matthew…

    One of the great attributes about God is that He is everywhere.  In the opening of the book of Job God asks Satan where he has been? (Job 1:7).  The answer was that he had been over all the earth, walking up and down in it.  The answer shows us that Satan is not God…

    We find these words several times in the letters addressed to the seven churches of Asia as recorded in Revelation 2,3.  Briefly let us look at the first one, that being the church at Ephesus.  They were a hard working group of Christians.  They took a stand against evil and those who promoted evil.  Jesus,…

    Where would you go to find the information about the antichrist? Let us begin from the position of the Christ. The Christ means the anointed One that would come to earth and die for our sins in order to save us. If His coming was prophesied as well as His work, then it would be…

    Those who worked to form this nation into a group of united people produced a document to govern them as a nation of civilized people. They had left Europe and other places coming to these shores to be able to flee from persecution. In the framework of the Constitution they placed amendments to ensure their…

    Let us take a moment to use this expression as a means to clear things up or as we sometimes say, “set the record straight”. In Luke 19 we have recorded a meeting between Zacchaeus and Jesus. We are told that Zacchaeus was very rich and was chief among the publicans (Luke 19:2). Jesus meets…

    All men will not be saved (Matt. 7:13,14). Those who will be saved are those who have obtained the grace of God. Such language should not convey the idea that man can be saved by his own merit or goodness. Jesus taught that those who are poor in spirit will have the kingdom of God…

    The above words represent a steady effort upon the part of the religious world to deny responsibility on the part of man. The passage in Romans 6:23 is often cited to put forth the idea that the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ the Lord. Use of the word “gift” implies to…

    The old television show, “Dragnet” had the lead actor saying many times, “just the facts, just the facts”. Jury trials are conducted daily in our society as individuals try to reach the truth. In the spiritual realm men are saved by obeying the truth (I Peter 1:22). If there is truth then one must accept…

    As we come to the New Testament the idea of faithfulness is still what God expects. None of us go out and strive to build an ark simply because God does not require such today. We do not make yearly trips to Jerusalem in order to worship God because such is not required. What this…
